The Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment

The Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment is based at RAF Cranwell, and is one of three established bands in the Royal Air Force.

Originally formed from the Coastal Command Band, the band is now administered by RAF Music Services. The Band takes part in major events such as The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, as well as a busy schedule of services and charity engagements.

In the past, the band was based at RAF Catterick.
